More Letters of Note is the hotly-anticipated sequel to the bestselling Letters of Note -- another rich and inspiring collection that delivers the same mix of the heartfelt, the historically significant, the tragic, the comic and the unexpected, all a reminder that much of what matters in our lives finds its way into our letters.

Discover an enthusiastic letter written by a young David Bowie in response to his first piece of American fan mail; J.K. Rowling’s reply, in character as Albus Dumbledore, to a Professor of Colloid and Polymer Science who applied to become Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts; from 1930, a missive from Lili Elvenes in which she describes her relief at finally being able to undergo surgery in what was one of the first cases of gender reassignment; a long letter sent by Tom Clancy to his friends just his star was beginning to rise, in which he speaks of his rapidly changing life; an embroidered letter of such incredible dimensions that it spans several fold-out pages; the charming illustrated letter that introduced Peter Rabbit to the world, written by Beatrix Potter to a five-year-old boy; a letter from legendary “dinosaur hunter” Barnum Brown, in which he describes having just discovered the Tyrannosaurus rex; Florence Nightingale’s harrowing account of the “appalling horror” of the Crimean War, written in 1854, and many, many more. As with the first volume, you are soon to embark on a rollercoaster ride that soars as high as it does low, travelling back in time as far as 2000BC to read an ancient Egyptian letter to the dead and coming as close as 2014 to read a wonderfully entertaining letter by Robert Crumb.
